Omri Abu, the Israeli border police officer charged for the murder of 10 year old Ahmad Mousa of Niílin has been acquitted.

The ruling came this Tuesday on there grounds of there being "reasonable doubts" to Abuís guilt. It was Omri Abuís unit that 2008 was called in to supress a demonstration against the apartheid wall being built on Niílin land. When their army jeep was met by stone throwing Abu fired two shots out the window. One of these bullets hit Ahmad Mousa in the forehead. He was dead before he could reach the hospital.

- I ran towards the ambulance with Ahmad in me hands, says Saeed Amireh of the Niílin Popular Comittee, but when his insides started falling out of his skull I could not bare it any longer.

According to judge Liora Frenkel the prosecution has not provided satifactory evidence that Abu fired the bullet wich killed Ahmad Mousa. An explination to this could be the difficulty in bringing witnesses from Niílin to the Ramle Magistrateís Court for testimony.

The judge also refered to contradictions in the evidence provided by the prosecution and the eyewitness testimonies of Palestinians. It should be pointed out that the investigation leading up to this trial was made by the Shai District Police, a part of the occupational supressive complex.

Abu was only found guilty of misusing his weapon as he indiscriminantly opened fire into the demonstraion even though he was not in any personal danger. During the investigation he initially lied about firing the weapon and tried to get rid of evidence proving this. For this, he faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison.

Abu himself stated during the trial that he opened the door of the bulletproof jeep to assess the situationen and felt "immediate danger and alarm" and that "I saw fit to shoot in the air." The policeman on trial said that he worried about the car beeing wrecked and that he had an obligation to respond so that the incident wouldnít escalate.

- If you donít respond it can be percieved as a weakness, he said in court.

In this particular case, the "response" meant the death of a ten year old boy. A heinous crime that Israel choses to let go unpunished.
